I've had a bunch of different types of headphones and these are the best yet for running. Comfortable, good sound, able to wear over top of a stocking cap if it's cold out. I really like the cord on them, has a cloth-like material over it and doesn't tangle easily. My only gripe is that the neck band is not adjustable so they don't fit snug against the back of my head.

I have bought many around the neck (street-style) headphones over the last ten years or so. Out of all of them, this pair was the most well-designed. It is more comfortable than any Sony brand street-stlye I have tried. It has a reflective neck band for safety when walking or biking with headphones on, which is a feature I hadn't seen before. The sound quality is good for a headphone of its size, and is much better than most ear-buds. If you look closely at the picture, you'll notice a small elastic band attached to the cord. This prevents the phones from yanking your ears every time something tugs the cord, and is a wonderful feature. The cord itself is insulated with a plastic weave instead of rubber, which makes the cord less likely to tangle or twist up, and makes it more resistant to breaking and cutting. If only this good thoughtful design could have been extended to the 1/8" audio plug. It is a straight plug instead of a right-angle plug, which makes it easier to accidentally pull it out of your audio device. Also, since I routinely put my iPod classic into my front pocket when using these phones, the motions of walking and sitting put strain on the area where the plug meets the cord, and that's what eventually broke, making the audio signal intermittent. For the price, I have not found a better value, and intend to just keep buying this model. I wrote a letter to the company requesting a right-angle plug be used for this product. We'll see if anything ever changes.

I wanted a pair of behind-the-head style headphones for running. I tested these against the Sennheiser PMX100 Supra-Aural Mini-Neckband Stereo Headphones and the Philips/Nike Aero SHJ070 Feather Light and Secure Neckband Headphones (Semi-Clear)
The Sennheisers definitely sounded the best out of the bunch, but I found them to be clunky and uncomfortable. The behind-the-ear loop really didn't work very well for me. I couldn't imagine running with them on.
The Nike Aeros were by far the lightest and most comfortable of the group, but i have to say, they sound TERRIBLE. They strip out all the mid-range & bass notes so you hear nothing but the tinny sounding treble.
The Philips were the best compromise of the 3, with sound quality almost as good as the Sennheisers (note, none of these are near audiophile quality, but hey, i'm going running in them), they're comfortable & light weight, and have a nice feature to protect the cord.

I've purchased this brand of headphones before and have always been satisfied. The sound quality is as good as may be expected for this type of headphone. For me,the distinguishing feature is the fabric-wrapped cord. For some reason, this type of cord seems to never get tangled and knotted, which means the product goes through wear-n-tear a lot slower than ordinary plastic-wrapped cords. Good product. Love it! Buy it!

For those of you who have struggled with earbud type products and the stock earphones that come with MP3 players(they never seem to fit right or are always slipping which often eliminates bass tones) these behind the neck/on top of ear headphones are terrific. Really good sound quality, including base. Very comfortable for me (from reading many reviews I get the impression that head/ear shape must play an important roll in comfort for the behind the neck type earphones - a disadvantage when buying online) but most importantly, very stable in all kinds of running. They block ambient noise as much or more than in the ear types. No more jamming little plastic things in my ear canals.
